It's been nearly half a year since I arrived in the City. Half a year since I had to deal with annoying fangirls, My Melo, Kuromi, or being Usamimi Kamen

Ah, Hiiragi-san . . .

[pinkikemenhero]

Mn?

[foxy_physician]

Things are different here for most, if not all of us . . . Ne?

[pinkikemenhero]

Quite true.

[foxy_physician]

I'm sorry it hasn't been easy for you . . .

I do consider you a friend. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask, Hiiragi-san.

[pinkikemenhero]

Perhaps it's karma. I have been spoiled most of my life.

[sighs]

I suppose I'll just have to learn to make the best of things.

.. And thank you, Takani-san. I am happy to have met you and have you as a friend.

[foxy_physician]

Things here can be quite difficult, but . . . it helps when you have people who care for you with you. You can make the best of things with them.

Think nothing of it, Hiiragi-san. I'm glad to have met you as well.

[pinkikemenhero]

I'm used to only having Sebastian.. And it is his job to look after me.

... It's odd, having other people say they care about you.

[foxy_physician]

Surely I'm not the first to say so and to call you a friend?

[pinkikemenhero]

No. Yumeno-kun was the first. .. Atleast the first I noticed. I had grown attached from people because they only cared about me for my fame and looks. Yumeno-kun started out that way.. but there was something different about her. She showed me such kindness... like no other had before.

[foxy_physician]

Then it is good that you have met such a person, Hiiragi-san.

Friendship and kindness do exist. A lot of the world is pretention, and manipulation . . . but there are people who truly care. I know this firsthand. True friends and loved ones who accept you for your sins and your crimes and make you realize that there is goodness in life, just as mine have accepted me . . .

And you do deserve that kindness, Hiiragi-san.

[pinkikemenhero]

I just wish she still felt the same about me as she did last year. .. I was such a fool, not telling her the truth.

Perhaps. I regret to say that I have not been kind to my friends in my world. It's really no wonder they have grown distant from me.. But I believe it is for the best.

[foxy_physician]

If you don't mind me asking . . . What happened, Hiiragi-san? Why weren't you able to tell her this truth?

But you have been very kind to me and to Mitsuhide-san . . . why would you want to distance yourself from your friends, Hiiragi-san?

[pinkikemenhero]

I was never really interested in any of my fangirls before and have never been good at expressing my emotions. ... I told her she would always be my little sister.

The people here are different. You don't know of my past. .. Well, partially, thanks to all these curses. My friends back home are all very close to each other.. but I was more worried about my career and myself, I didn't really want to be involved with them because of the trouble Kuromi and My Melody caused me. I always felt like an outsider among them.

... To be honest, the only one I ever thought of as my friend was Yumeno-kun. The others I didn't really care for.

[foxy_physician]

Your little sister instead of . . . something else?

You were distancing yourself to protect them, then? Because of the trouble you could bring?

[pinkikemenhero]

..Hai.

Mn.. No. The trouble had already happened. I just didn't want to be involved in any more drama.
